ABSTRACT FUNK THEORY ITEMS










Not exactly the full set as there were about 8 albums in the series, but here's 3 releases relating to the Abstract Funk Theory compilations from around the period when it first appeared on the scene.
The ad at the top is from a summer 1999 issue of Straight No Chaser magazine and is for Ian O'Brien's selection.
The 2nd ad is dated spring 2000 and also comes from SNC and is for Ross Allen's offering. Strangely, the ad artwork doesn't resemble the album cover artwork!
The 3rd SNC ad dates back to winter 2000 and this one is for the Mixmaster Morris presentation.
All 3 CD's are from my racks at home.

R&S STUFF







The top item is an overview of the R&S label that was published in "DJ Mag" in 1992. It gives a brief account of their history and lists their recorded output.
The second item is a similar compact review of R&S, this time dated 1995 and published in Mixmag.
So to go with them I thought I'd pluck out a couple of examples from my own collection - both of the above releases date back to 1991.
Starting with a 12 inch EP by Jam & Spoon called "Stella" - followed by a double vinyl compilation album called "Order To Dance" which was the first in a series that went onto have further volumes in the set.
